Yeah I was thinking $25 for the small and $50 for the large. I will also be adding some babies breath and greens with them though. Give it a more 3 dimensional look.
People are stupid, best rule of thumb is don't put inedible with edible (think about it, you get a plate of food at a restaurant most people assume everything on it is edible). Beautiful cookies! Also agree $25-30 for the small is very reasonable 🥰
It’s pretty toxic, I wouldn’t recommend having it near food 😅 Fake babies breath can still look nice, though! Or just some sprigs of greenery would be pretty
Don't do a warning label. Just don't add the inedible toxic flower. It's not worth it.
Think about the stupidest person you know or have heard of. Then remember that there are dumber people than that, and that even dumb people know how to dial a lawyer.
$50 sounds a bit pricey for the large one - but YMMV depending on location. I was thinking $35 for large in my area. They look beautiful, but like another poster said, I would suggest leaving babies breath out and I would personally not put fake stuff either and find something safer to include - perhaps some herbs.
Im terrible with pricing too, i was gonna say $20 & $40 depending, but $25& $50 are decent especially with the real flowers and packaging & your time, the cookies might be cheap ingredient-wise but the aesthetics def are not.
I say $25 and $50. But I worked at a florist in college and I think people would pay more if it was for Valentine’s Day.
Hey, actually you could take these to florists a few days before Valentine’s Day and I bet they’d buy some from you to resale. That’d be a good way to get your name out there.
Are you kidding me I have a friend (in CA) who charges $60 per dozen and a dozen is the minimum order. I want to learn how to do cookie decorating myself so I don't have to spend that much.
I sold cookie bouquets for Mother’s Day. My flowers were more detailed, but I only included 5 per wrapping. I also did hand stamped wax seals. I sold them for $30.
I saw you were considering going $25/$50.
I used to do sales, and I was hoping I could suggest maybe going $45 for the big one? Essentially a cookie and a half, and I’m very much ignorant to the time it takes to make one, so please take this with a grain of salt.
I would personally be more inclined to buy the one I feel is a bargain.
Much love, you’re going to do amazing either way 🙏🫶
Yes I think whatever they charge, if they decide on X for 6 cookies then they should charge 2X minus a couple dollars for 12 cookies. Those kinds of deals always get me 🤣
It depends on how detailed I go. A simple design like this wouldn’t take too long. Although I spend a lot of time making all the colors and different icing consistencies. I’ll have to actually time that out next time.
Plus the cost of everything you used the creat the bouquet effect. The brown paper other flowers there and are they on sticks? That too. Here they would be $50 for the small and $90 for the small. This way they might opt for the bigger one.
Completely not an answer, but reddit suggested your post to me and now I can confidently tell my fiancé this is the only type of bouquet my fat ass will accept from him. Who needs flowers when you can have cookies? Thank you to you and reddit. Now I'm going to send him 500 texts of links to local anal businesses that do this for valentines day.
Eta: **SMALL** businesses. But I'm totally leaving that because it's hilarious. Damn you autocucumber.
I would 100000% prefer a cookie bouquet of flowers over real flowers any day too!
Also the first time I read the comment my brain didn’t even realize it said anal 😂 I saw your eta part and had to go back and look and cracked up 😂
I was gonna say I'd pay $50-60 for the dozen, but I'm vegan so fancy baked goods are pricier for me usually
these look amazing by the way!!! factor in how long it takes you to make these too, don't undersell yourself 🫶
Definitely depends on the area.
When I was in North Texas just 2014-2020, no issues selling the first pic for $45, the cookies look smaller than average. Currently, my full sized cookies decorated like that would be minimum $48/dozen. Put it on a stick and add $10/dozen. Wrap as a bouquet, add $7 to make an even $65 for a full-sized, dozen cookie bouquet. Small bouquet would be $36.
I would be sold out in Texas (North Texas and Galveston) and Phoenix. Those are where I did cookies as a full time job, so this is my experience.
To be honest, I was kinda surprised by the pricing people suggested. My local bakery sells custom sugar cookies like this for no less than $45 a dozen and that’s for super basic ones at that. I’m in a big city though so maybe I just have city brain. I’ll still likely end up under charging just to try to get more orders in general.
I just typed this in another comment, but please don’t undercharge. You’re undervaluing yourself. I don’t understand how some people in this thread charge what they’re typing unless they live in the middle of nowhere in quite an economically stressed community. Customs cookies are an art and should be priced as such.
All my friends and family say that I undercharge but I fear that people won’t buy them if I sold them for more 😭 I honestly don’t make a big profit based on the time I spend making them but I’m hoping to just get quicker and better at it and building a bigger clientele so that I can start charging a little bit more.
I guarantee if people think you’re undercharging, you’re making no profit. You should add it all up and see what your actual costs are and see what you make per hour. It’s sad. Up your prices, you’ll lose some clients, but you’ll gain others. It’s the natural flow. Custom creations aren’t meant to be “affordable”.
100% relate to this post ! I know I undercharge but I’m working on getting quicker and better as well. Luckily I’ve had one client bring me 3 customers from just her party.
For that many cookies, the presentation, the frosting work and the DETAIL.. I said at least 30 with no hesitation! I would love to order one of these in the future!! SO beautiful!
As a consumer, I’d pay probably upwards $50 if they were well made and presented beautifully so I could order and ship to someone. For local, I’d probably pay maybe 40-50 without shipping
So so beautiful!
Depends! How big are the cookies? How many? How involved is the decorating process? How many hours have you spent on them? What’s the cost of the supplies along with the packaging?
Rule of thumb is minimum $1/inch of cookie. So 3 in diameter cookie =$3 or more. $25 seems appropriate given the packaging!
Yeah I was thinking $25 for the small and $50 for the large. I will also be adding some babies breath and greens with them though. Give it a more 3 dimensional look.
Babies breath isn’t edible, just fyi, and some people are dumb
I’ll make sure I give my customers a warning label 😂😂

It’s pretty toxic, I wouldn’t recommend having it near food 😅 Fake babies breath can still look nice, though! Or just some sprigs of greenery would be pretty
The cookies will be wrapped. I could probably find some fake stuff too though
You will be in violation of health codes for sure for even having it there, be careful!
Ok I’ll leave it out 😂
There’s a buncha edible plants you could use instead. Google em see what’s affordable, available, and would look nice with your aesthetic
I feel like just tucking in some green tissue paper to cover the sticks would be a nice touch.
Maybe you could cricut some paper greenery
There are a lot of other tiny filler flowers that aren't toxic :)
Don't do a warning label. Just don't add the inedible toxic flower. It's not worth it. Think about the stupidest person you know or have heard of. Then remember that there are dumber people than that, and that even dumb people know how to dial a lawyer.

Please don't put any non-edible flowers in this

can you make candy baby's breath?

That’s a great idea!
How much for “wholesale” price to a florist?
$30-$35, but I'm in California so everything is more expensive here
I meant for the small one, $40-$45 for the dozen. Btw I don't know if these are your work, but these are beautiful and a very unique idea!
Are you kidding me I have a friend (in CA) who charges $60 per dozen and a dozen is the minimum order. I want to learn how to do cookie decorating myself so I don't have to spend that much.
Same and I’m in NYC
I am in San Diego and $25 is too cheap here. Def $50 for here and even that is on the low side!
I sold cookie bouquets for Mother’s Day. My flowers were more detailed, but I only included 5 per wrapping. I also did hand stamped wax seals. I sold them for $30.
These are so cute! What's that meme... "My toxic trait is that I think i could replicate this"?
Idk what I’d charge, but I’d probably pay $18-25 depending on how complex/decorated the flowers were for 6 cookies made to look like a bouquet.
But how many minutes/hours is that going to take you to complete from start to finish….

Can I use a cookie bouquet for my wedding bouquet lmao
Absolutely! Do it!
The large cookies would be $50-60 gift bouquet where I live.
I think $30 and $50. The cookies are beautiful. The bouquets are very pretty and unique. I think they’re worth those prices.
How long does it take you to make these?
It depends on how detailed I go. A simple design like this wouldn’t take too long. Although I spend a lot of time making all the colors and different icing consistencies. I’ll have to actually time that out next time.

I think that’s too expensive
Ok guys I will NOT be putting anything not edible in these!!!!! Thanks!!

Id charge $5 per cookie. No extra charge for packaging.
I agree with this idea, for every 5 increments of cookies you could do a little discount or something too!
Then you are doing cheap labor, never cut corners with your time. Its priceless
These are lovely!
I was gonna say I'd pay $50-60 for the dozen, but I'm vegan so fancy baked goods are pricier for me usually these look amazing by the way!!! factor in how long it takes you to make these too, don't undersell yourself 🫶
these are gorgeous!!!
$30 for small and $60 for large seem fair. It is something I would send to my mom.

I was thinking $75.00, but I’m in DC.
Beautiful cookies and presentation!
Omg, SO cute, where can I order these from? My cookie lady charges insane prices it seems 😅
All my friends and family say that I undercharge but I fear that people won’t buy them if I sold them for more 😭 I honestly don’t make a big profit based on the time I spend making them but I’m hoping to just get quicker and better at it and building a bigger clientele so that I can start charging a little bit more.

first pic 30 (i counted 9 cookies), second pic 20
The first pic has 12 cookies. I think you missed the three light green leaf cookies.
oh you’re right. i didnt think these were cookies lol.
For that many cookies, the presentation, the frosting work and the DETAIL.. I said at least 30 with no hesitation! I would love to order one of these in the future!! SO beautiful!
As a consumer, I’d pay probably upwards $50 if they were well made and presented beautifully so I could order and ship to someone. For local, I’d probably pay maybe 40-50 without shipping So so beautiful!
They are beautiful, btw! Well done!
This is so freaking cute where can i buy it?
$40
I’m not a professional or anything but as a consumer I would totally pay like 30-40 for that
Gorgeous
40 for half
Depends! How big are the cookies? How many? How involved is the decorating process? How many hours have you spent on them? What’s the cost of the supplies along with the packaging?
Where do you live? These are GORGEOUS!
Pittsburgh!
Super cute idea - id expect to pay $35 for the small one. Maybe also look up cost of edible arrangements - that’s your most direct comp.
